Music player track numbers

Posted on 2010-01-19 17:33 UTC by Chris Phillips. Status: Under consideration

Something that has always bugged me with my Nokia phones is the way the Music player numbers tracks in shuffle mode.

For example I have 1908 tracks on my player, when in shuffle on a playlist or general shuffle the display says "869/1908 songs" ie its playing track number 869 (ie the 869th song to be added to my N900). This number is completely inconsequential when playing on shuffle. Surely it should say the number of the track playing in the current shuffle play order - ie go up 1, 2, 3 etc so you can tell how far you are through the shuffle list.

Its small details like this that make the difference in an OS.

 

I hope this makes sense...

Change the track numbers in shuffle mode to a sequential number rather than the number of the track.
